A Catholic church and a mosque rubbing shoulders with each other? In Mannheim, this proximity is a symbol of the peaceful coexistence of more than 170 nations within the city. The Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque is not only the second largest mosque, but also one of the most beautiful Muslim sacred buildings in Germany. It is a community centre, Quran school and meeting place in one and is open to people of all faiths. Discover the impressive and richly ornate prayer hall or climb the 32-metre-high minaret on one of the public or private guided tours.
